CONCLUSION

Christ offers himself only once to take the faults of many on himself, and when he appears a second time, it will not be to deal with sin but to reward with salvation those who are waiting for him.

Let us venerate the sign of the cross.

– Through it we have received the sacrament of salvation.

Let us pray.

By your will, Lord God,

your Son underwent the agony of the cross

to break the power of Satan over man.

Give your people grace to rise again with Christ,

who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Amen.

Let us praise the Lord.

– Thanks be to God.
